) today released eight n-channel power MOSFETs A Power MOSFET is a specific type of Metal Oxide Semiconductor Field-Effect Transistor (MOSFET) designed to handle large powers. Compared to the other power semiconductor devices (IGBT, Thyristor...  in an innovative new PowerPAK([R]) ChipFET([R]) package that offers advanced thermal performance in a compact 3-mm by 1.8-mm footprint. Featuring a broad variety of configurations and voltages, the new devices allow designers to easily replace larger power MOSFETs in a wide range of power-conversion applications.

As a space-saving alternative to MOSFETs in the much larger SO-8 package, the new PowerPAK ChipFET devices deliver higher power Higher power is a term used in a 12-step program, such as Alcoholics Anonymous, to describe "a power greater than yourself." Although many participants equate their higher power with God, a belief in God or in formal religion is not mandatory; the higher power is intended as a  density by offering the same 3-W maximum power dissipation Dissipation

For optimized design efficiency, n-channel power MOSFETs in Vishay's new PowerPAK ChipFET family are designed for point-of-load, synchronous Refers to events that are synchronized, or coordinated, in time. For example, the interval between transmitting A and B is the same as between B and C, and completing the current operation before the next one is started are considered synchronous operations.

, and logic-level dc-to-dc conversion applications in low-power computer and fixed telecomm applications where space is at a premium.

N-channel PowerPAK ChipFET devices will also be used as load switches in portable electronic systems and notebook PCs, delivering footprint savings of 33 %, a 23 % thinner height profile, and a 9 % reduction in on-resistance at a 4.5-V gate drive compared with power MOSFETs in the TSOP-6.

Among the eight new devices announced today are single, dual, and single-plus-Schottky-diode power MOSFETs, with breakdown voltage Breakdown Voltage (Insulator) = The minimum voltage that causes a portion of an insulator to become electrically conductive.

Breakdown Voltage (diode) = The minimum reverse voltage to make the diode conduct in reverse.
 ratings from 20 V to 60 V.

Single n-channel power MOSFETs in the PowerPAK ChipFET family are rated for typical thermal resistance values as low as 3 degrees Celsius/W (junction to case), with maximum on-resistance values as low as 0.015 ohms in a 20-V drain-to-source n-channel single-channel device and 0.039 ohms in a dual-channel device. The single-plus-Schottky-diode power MOSFETs feature on-resistance values as low as 0.039 ohms and Schottky diode The Schottky diode (named after German physicist Walter H. Schottky; also known as hot carrier diode) is a semiconductor diode with a low forward voltage drop and a very fast switching action.  forward voltage of 0.375 V at 1 A.

All of these new PowerPAK ChipFET devices are pin-compatible with products in the standard ChipFET package.
